'''Oak's Letter''' (Japanese: '''オーキドのてがみ''' ''Okido's Letter'') is a [[key item|key]] [[event item]] available in {{game|Platinum}}. It is only obtainable through a [[Nintendo Event]].  It is the third of the four [[event item]]s in the Sinnoh-based games, preceded in its distribution by the {{gdis|Secret Key|IV}} and [[Member Card]], and followed by the currently unannounced [[Azure Flute]].

Once this item has been received from the deliveryman at the [[Poké Mart]], [[Professor Oak]] of [[Kanto]] will be waiting for the {{player}} on his or her next visit to {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}, at the northernmost, barren end of it. He will explain to the player that the white rock there is present for a person to note what they are most thankful for, and on inspection of it, the player will be able to enter whatever they may desire (the entry system is the same as that for Pokémon nicknames). After this has been done, the [[Seabreak Path]] will appear, and a {{p|Shaymin}} will come down from it before returning north to the [[Flower Paradise]], where it can be caught at level 30.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Oak's Letter was first shown in ''[[PS429|Dealing with Dragonite]]''. It was featured again ''[[PS430|Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost)]]'', where [[Marley]] used the instructions written to it by {{adv|Professor Oak}} to locate {{p|Shaymin}}, so that she could ask it to help her in the final battle against [[Team Galactic]]. Full contents of the letter were later revealed in ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Even though the {{p|Shaymin}} residing at the Flower Paradise is caught from the wild, its status screen will always display it as having been met in a [[fateful encounter]].
* Even though the {{p|Shaymin}} residing at the Flower Paradise is caught from the wild, its status screen will always display it as having been met in a [[fateful encounter]].
** This is likely because only fateful encounter Shaymin can become [[Sky Forme]] and allow the player to receive the {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} in the first place.
** This is likely because only fateful encounter Shaymin can become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shaymin|Sky Forme}} and allow the player to receive the [[Gracidea]] in the first place.
* Although Oak's Letter is present in the game data for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the item was never distributed for those games by Nintendo.
* Although Oak's Letter is present in the game data for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the item was never distributed for those games by Nintendo.
** A {{p|Shaymin}} could be caught on those games by acquiring Oak's Letter via [[Cheating|cheating]], but, due to the fact that {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} does not apply the [[fateful encounter]] flag, it would never be able to achieve its Sky Forme.
** A Shaymin could be caught on those games by acquiring Oak's Letter via [[cheating]], but, due to the fact that {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} does not apply the [[fateful encounter]] flag, it would never be able to achieve its Sky Forme.
** For this reason, it's unlikely that Oak's Letter will ever be legitimately available for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Despite Oak's Letter only being distributed for Pokémon Platinum, the Wonder Card for the [[List of American region Nintendo Network event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Shaymin|Pokémon 20th Anniversary Shaymin]] states that, "With a special letter, Shaymin could first be encountered in the Flower Paradise of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl."
* [[Marley]] will speak to the player differently with the Oak's Letter event activated.
